Cardiovascular Risk Profile Among Mexican-Americans
Cardiovascular DiseasesAtherosclerosis1 moreTo characterize the epidemiology and genetics of apolipoproteins A-I, A-II, B, C-II, C-III, and E in a population of Mexican-Americans in Starr County, Texas.

Psychophysiology of Cardiovascular Reactivity
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases1 moreTo determine why Black Americans have a higher prevalence of hypertension than whites by examining the interactions of psychosocial stressors and suppressed hostility with genetic or constitutional factors.

Genetic Epidemiology of Coronary Heart Disease
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases1 moreTo relate observations at the DNA level to the distribution of coronary heart disease in the population at large.

Work Organization and Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart DiseasesTo determine the combined effects of job strain and social isolation on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Multicenter Study of Silent Myocardial Ischemia (MSSMI)
Cardiovascular DiseasesCoronary Disease6 moreTo determine if silent myocardial ischemia was associated with an increased risk of cardiac mortality and morbidity during a one to three year follow-up in patients with coronary heart disease.

Decline in Cardiovascular Mortality: Framingham 1950-1984
Cardiovascular DiseasesCoronary Disease2 moreTo investigate possible mechanisms responsible for the decline in cardiovascular disease mortality among the Framingham Heart Study population and to evaluate the health status of survivors in terms of subsequent illness and functional limitations.

AIDS-Associated Cardiomyopathy
Acquired Immunodeficiency SyndromeHeart Diseases2 moreTo define the incidence and prevalence of AIDS-associated cardiomyopathy. Also, to conduct immunopathology and serologic studies in endomyocardial biopsies and autopsy tissues.

HIV-Associated Heart Disease
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases3 moreTo develop natural history data regarding the incidence, clinical course, prognosis, and effects of treatment with anti-viral and immunosuppressive agents on HIV-associated heart disease. A second part of the study evaluated a number of possible mechanisms underlying the development of HIV heart disease.

Diet and Plasma Cholesterol - Secular Trend Analysis
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases2 moreTo define the role of dietary variables on changes in plasma cholesterol levels over time in the Framingham cohort and the Framingham Offspring cohort.

Urinary Kallikrein and Hypertension: A Prospective Study
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases1 moreTo determine whether low total urinary kallikrein activity was prospectively associated with new hypertension onset or elevated blood pressures.
